  • Dropping Quality

    I’ve been a long-time listener of the BBC World Business Report, but the quality has declined in recent years. The range of stories feels narrower and the reporting less sharp than it used to be. I’ve now switched to Bloomberg’s Daybreak Europe Pod, which offers a much wider range of global business stories for me.

Seriously, Mike Johnson get a grip: you ask the stupidest questions, arrive at the stupidest ... more
